i used to read a blog called the walter mitty club or some thing and i really appreciated the guys who were in really deep on the lying

like guys who spent 30 years living a fake life as an operator and it coming out that theyve just been going to london to do coke and go to crazy sex parties

dudes rock basically.

It always saddens me when I read about a case of stolen valor where they couldn’t even do the most basic loving research. It’s one thing to start spinning stories at a bar and get caught up in it, sure, whatever, but it seems like there’s always a case where a guy decides to do it and walks into an army surplus store and just grabs a handful of random insignia like, “why yes I’m a Sergeant General in the Navy, look at all of my medals from the Korean War”

I can't imagine doing actual research to steal valor. gently caress it up as much as you can, you don't want to fool anyone. the whole point is to disrespect the troops as hard as possible and make fun of their stupid little bits of flair and overblown sense of self-importance where they think they deserve any respect at all.

I worked with a guy who wears one of those Vietnam Veteran hats even though hes like 30 which to me is a really good bit

Right on, tell those guys who got drafted that they’re fuckers for thinking they get to wear a special hat

I've been walking at night with my wife. I'm old, and fat, and I hate every part of taking a nightly walk, from the aches and pains of moving to the soreness afterwards, to the horror that is having nothing to distract me from my self-loathing for twenty minutes.

But if I don't exercise, in ten years I'll be older, fatter, and maybe not able to walk at all.

I've been thinking a lot about "I run slowly".

I run slow

I work in the social services, and a lot of the people we work with have a lot of regrets. I've asked our case managers to have their clients come out and watch me run. I run so slow, time run backwards. As I waddle along, your life runs in reverse. Scars becomes wounds become chances to exercise better judgement. I run slow.

Like most people, I enjoy running in the mornings, before it gets to hot. Unlike most people, I've been pushed over by a squirrel.

I run slow. Sometimes when I am running, I think of those zen fountains that absorb a drip drip drip of water down a bamboo tube before finally tipping over and dumping their contents into a pool. Each step I take is another drip. I think, that fountain would call me a pussy.

I run slow. But I know where I have been.

Six months ago, I didn't run.

Six months ago, I had heartburn bad enough to keep me from sleeping through the night. Six months ago, I felt like I needed to go to sleep at 2pm. And six months ago, running felt impossible.

I run slow, and I have ways to go. But I can sleep. I feel alive. I can run two, slow, miles. Slowly.

Sometimes I get discouraged. I compare where I am to where other people are. But all that matters is where I am compared to where I was.

Once something good becomes something you are going to do for the rest of your life, the pace becomes less important. I know that my drip drip drip will amount to that deluge, eventually. Someday I will run 3 miles, slowly.

For some reason I mentally jumbled your opening and read this as "I've been walking at night because I hate my wife." which seemed like an extremely dark opener

I mean technically I'm making her walk with me so there's an argument that I do.

they're welcome to if they can but I think maybe they literally can't probe admins?

pretty sure IKs can probe mods. don't get too buck wild with this

I cannot probe Fritz. The button is there, but it goes to a "sorry this action is prohibited!" screen.

I also cannot edit his posts. Neither he, not vyelkin, nor Pragmatica have the same "revise!" button.

this is your thread. are you the man of the house, or the man of the horse

oh my god

quote:

That horse mocks you. Do you hear the neighing? More like naying! That horse says no to you. The horse is the man of the house. You are the horse. Clop clop! Trot about to your dingy office, little horsey. Your wife kisses her husband-horse when you can't see. And then again when you can. She buys it shoes, finer than any you'll own. Its metal feet crush your soul. "This horse is now man!" it exclaims. "I am defeated!" you cry. The horse has beat you. Soon you'll be in the stall, eating dry, bland grasses, while the majestic Horseband ferries your wife about town. "Oh!" the city folk shall say as they drop to their knees as their muscles fail them at the sight of such a couple. "The horse is such a man!" they weep as they tear out their eyes, knowing they'll never see such beauty again. Your wife and the HorseGod shall laugh and eat gold together. Ha ha! And your tears shall be blood as you shrivel and turn to dust, forgotten in that stall outside the city where the HORSE is now Emperor Of All and Lover Of One. The citizens will genuflect before the great beast, paying whatever tithe the Hoofed One demands, be it of coin or flesh. The people will rejoice to do so, as their Great and Benevolent Equine shall make their crops plenty, and their lives ever long. The rotten stall shall collapse on your worm-eaten bones, and none shall remember a whit about you. Except the UrHorse, the original horse, who shall shed no tear, but blink in bitter recollection of that brief time he had to endure you.

Do not let this come to be. Shoot that horse. With your Glock. Eat its meat. Make a horse stew. Turn its bones into glue, and use it to glue the skull to your wall. Use its hooves to make a tasteless gelatin to encase its eyes in. Do it. Be the man of the house, not the man of the horse. He watches!
